Apache2 don't start /var/www/sharedip don't exist

[Dr.Oetker]

ISPConfig runs with out problems, but today the sites not online.

I try to restart the apache2 server and got this error:

Starting web server: Apache2Warning: DocumentRoot [/var/www/sharedip] does not exist
apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs


Whats wrong? Why it works yesterday and now /var/www/sharedip is away?

How can I fix it?

Pleace help me!

[Dr.Oetker]

Okay, i have restart the server and now it works, but the directory /var/www/sharedip does not exist!?

[till]

ISPConfig creates the /var/www/sharedip during setup and does not touch the directory afterwards.

Please create the directory manually. Are there any errrs in the file /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/ispconfig.log?

[Dr.Oetker]

I have created the sharedip directory and checked the ISPConfig Log. There are no errors.

After the Reboot all workes fine, but yesterday, the apache2 goes down and restart dosnt work:

apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

I have rebooted the server, now it works :confused:

[Dr.Oetker]

Today the apache2 server goes down again.

And it works again after a reboot.
But i wont (and i cant) restart the server every ~ 6 days! What is wrong?

I have looked at the ispconfig. Before the server goes down, there are the following lines:

What's in the Apache init script in /etc/init.d? Which distribution do you use?

[Dr.Oetker]

my apache2 init.d file:

My distribution is Debian Sarge 3.1 with ISPConfig 2.2.12

[falko]

Your problem seems to occur at 23:59h, that's the time when ISPConfig stops Apache to process the logs and then starts it again. Maybe the problem is that Apache gets started too soon after it has been stopped. You can try to modify the start section of the init script like this:

start)
[ -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf ] || touch /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
#ssl_scache shouldn't be here if we're just starting up.
[ -f /var/run/apache2/ssl_scache ] && rm -f /var/run/apache2/*ssl_scache*
echo -n "Starting web server: Apache2"
sleep 3
$APACHE2CTL startssl
echo "."
;;

[Dr.Oetker]

I have added "sleep 3", now i hope, the server dont crash any more *g*

(The next time should be the 29th, right?)

thank you!

[Dr.Oetker]

Yesterday it was the Same procedure as every weak.

The Apache goes down and i cant restart him until i reboot the server.

[till]

Yesterday it was the Same procedure as every weak.

You say that this happens only once a week? Thats a bit strannge because ISPConfig does not run any scripts once a week, all scripts are run daily. You should check your crontab and cron.weekly scripts for scripts that where started once a week.

[Dr.Oetker]

In the crontab are all ISPConfig Crons:

#ISPConfig Cronjobs
30 00 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/logs.php &> /dev/null
59 23 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/ftp_logs.php &> /dev/null

in the cron.weekly are

man-db
ntp-server and
sysklogd


The ISPConfig Log says after every crash

INFO - /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/mail_logs.php, Line 134: rm -f /var/log/mail.log.XX-XX-07_23-59-01

(XX-XX for the date)

[Dr.Oetker]

23:59: Same procedure as every weak, the apache server goes down...

[till]

As I mentiones earlier in the thread, there is nothing in ISPConfig that is run weekly and your installation seems the only one that has these problems. So I'am pretty sure that the problem is related to a script or process that does not belong to ISPConfig. All ISPConfig scripts where run daily, if the problem woild be caused by ISPConfig, you apache server would die every night and not once a week.

[Dr.Oetker]

okay, but the problem is since ISPConfig is installed.

But how can i find out which cron or application make this crash?

Thanks for your help!
